Chapter 495 At This Point, the Situation in the North of the Song Dynasty Has Been Determined
The sun was setting in the west, and the temperature dropped sharply. The cold wind blowing in Jishiling made the ambushed Chen army shiver slightly.
But their eyes were sharp, and their breathing became rapid as the sound of horse hooves became clearer and clearer in their ears.
"Here they come, here they come"
The Chen army in Jishiling shouted in their hearts, and they couldn't help but tighten their swords, guns, bows and crossbows.
Chased by the Cavalry Guards, the Jinxia army that fled from Bingcheng was anxiously urging their horses.
The infantrymen who didn't ride horses also tried their best. In order to speed up the march, they even threw away their weapons.
"Boom boom"
The thunderous sound of horse hooves poured into Jishiling like a tide.
When nearly half of the Jinxia fleeing soldiers entered Jishiling.
"Swish swish swish"
Around Jishiling, crossbows and feather arrows poured in like rain, shooting into the Jinxia fleeing army, and immediately shot many Jinxia soldiers to death, and people and horses fell.
"Ah"
"There's an ambush"
"Puff."
Gar waved his sword, and every time he waved it, a strong wind would surge out, resisting the crossbows and feather arrows shot from all directions to the maximum extent.
Tuoba Zhu did not make any move. When the feather arrows hit him and the horse under him, they were blown away by a strong blue wind. His hair was blown flying.
Tuoba Zhu's heart skipped a beat. The worst result still happened. All this was Chen Jun's plan.
The Jinxia army that escaped from the city had no morale. Suddenly seeing this scene, they fled in all directions, crying for their parents.
"Damn it, I'll fight you to death." Seeing the soldiers fall into a pool of blood, Gar suddenly became angry and seemed to drive the horse under his crotch towards the Chen army shooting arrows around, but was stopped by Tuoba Zhu, who said: "General Gar, don't worry about them, rush out." Before, when they were defending the city, they still had the strength to fight against the Chen army, but now they are no match for the Chen army when they escape from the city. It's better to rush forward in the rain of arrows. As long as they rush forward, with the speed of their cavalry, the Chen army will definitely not be able to catch up. Gar understood, and he and Tuoba Zhu took the lead, driving the horses under their crotch, holding swords and spears in their hands to block the arrows shot from all around, and led the soldiers under them to rush forward in the rain of arrows. The chaotic sound of horse hooves and the neighing sounded deafeningly in the dim chicken stone. For the two of them, these arrows could not hurt them at all. Under the leadership of the two so bravely, they actually punched through. However, the number of Jinxia soldiers who could still follow the two of them was greatly reduced.
"Not good, the enemy general is going to escape."
Although Cui Shuang and Song Shiming did not know Gar and Tuoba Zhu, they knew that the other party was a general officer by looking at their clothes and the people around them who were not in a mess when they were ambushed. Seeing that the two were about to break out of the ambush, they could not help but look anxious.
Cui Shuang wanted to rush down with the brave guards to stop them, but was stopped by Song Shiming, who said: "General Cui, don't worry, the strong and bearded general with a sword can still resist, but the general with a gun next to him is not our match."
As a fifth-grade warrior and a member of a noble family, Song Shiming could feel that the two enemy generals who led the breakout were quite powerful.
It would be fine if these 7,000 soldiers surrounded the two of them.
But there are so many Jinxia soldiers in Chishiling to deal with.
When the Marquis gave the order, he also reminded them to protect their own safety first.
Cui Shuang surrendered to Chen Mo as a surrendered general. He was a general of the Tianshi Army before, so he naturally cherished his life. Hearing Song Shiming's words, he immediately restrained himself and said, "Then we will just watch them escape?"
"General Cui, you and I will lead the army to charge and kill as many enemies as possible to see if we can keep the officer holding the sword and annihilate the living force of Jinxia as much as possible." Song Shiming suggested avoiding the sharp edge.
Cui Shuang knew that Song Shiming came from a noble family, had read more books, and was stronger than himself. He just followed Chen Mo for a longer time, so his current level was higher than Song Shiming, but he also knew that Song Shiming's future achievements would definitely be higher than his.
Cui Shuang nodded and chose to listen to Song Shiming.
At this moment, the arrows in the arrow baskets of the Chen army ambushed in Jishiling were almost shot out, and the Jinxia army below was like mice hiding in the east and west.
Under the leadership of Cui Shuang and Song Shiming, the Chen army killed from the left and right sides.
"Where are you going!"
Cui Shuang and Song Shimin each led a team of confidants to bite at the end of Gar and Tuoba Zhu's team, cutting off the Jinxia cavalry that followed Gar and the others forward.
"General, the Chen army is biting on us." Gar's personal soldiers heard the shouting and killing behind him and said to Gar.
Gar looked at Tuoba Zhu, who didn't even turn his head: "Don't worry, the Chen army chasing out of Bingcheng will be here soon. If we wait for Chen Mo to drive away, none of us can leave."
Gar nodded, and then ordered the personal soldiers: "Stop them."
"Yes."
The personal soldiers behind Gar immediately reined in their horses and turned around to meet the attack, slashing at Cui Shuang and Song Shiming who were rushing in front with their sabers.
On the other side, the cavalry guards led by Shao Jinneng caught up with the Jinxia rear army that had not yet entered Jishiling. The horse lances in their hands were like a stream of moonlight, sweeping through thousands of troops, and almost instantly killed several Jinxia soldiers.
"Brothers, follow me and charge in." The Cavalry Guards led by Shao Jinneng charged into Jishiling like a sharp arrow, and together with the Chen army ambushed inside, they wiped out the scattered Jinxia army.
Gar's personal soldiers and officers did not stop Cui Shuang and Song Shiming for long.
Gar and Tuoba Zhu rushed out of Jishiling with hundreds of Jinxia troops. Seeing that Chen's army was still sticking to them like a dog-skin plaster, the former frowned and said, "Duodan, you lead the troops to protect the prince first, and I will stop them."
Duodan was the name of one of Gar's personal soldiers.
Tuoba Zhu finally looked back at this time. In order to observe the situation, he took out a telescope, then reined in his horse and said, "General Gar, you go first, and I will stop them alone."
"Prince." Gar was stunned and quite surprised. After all, the status of the two was very different. He never expected that the other party would cover his back.
"Go."
Tuoba Zhu shouted.
It's not that he sacrificed himself for others, but he saw that there were not many Chen troops chasing him, and there was no trace of Chen Mo. With his strength, he could deal with it.
In addition, the Eastern Route Army was almost completely wiped out, and most of the generals were also dead. If he returned with only a few hundred people, he would have to bear the wrath of the Khan.
But if Gal was there, he would not have to fight in the front.
After all, he was just a military supervisor.
Gal didn't know so much, and was moved for a moment. After responding, he led the soldiers who broke out from Jishiling and fled towards Yingcheng.
